Max remembered what she said about flowers and rings very clearly.
So after dinner, he pulled her to the mall to pick a ring.
At first, he was thinking that they should get the rings customized.
Then he realized that the customization took a long time. And Laura usually worked on the set and would participate in many activities. She wouldn't have many chances to wear her wedding ring.
They thought twice and decided not to bother. They'd just pick two rings they liked in the mall.
It was just ceremonial.
However, before they bought any rings, they met an unexpected person.
As the old saying goes, "you can’t avoid your enemy."
Lily was shopping with some of her rich girlfriends for jewelry. Then she saw Max and Laura right in front of her.
His face changed drastically.
At that time, Laura and Max hadn't seen her yet. They were standing in front of a counter and looking at the rings.
"May I take a look at this one?"
She picked a heart-shaped diamond ring. Just as she was about to take a closer look, a mocking voice came from aside.
"Hey! Look who's here! It's you!"
Laura and Max raised their heads. They all frowned upon seeing Lily.
Laura didn't want to get pestered by Lily. She gently tugged Max and whispered to him, "Let go over there."
Max also felt that there was no point in getting pestering with Lily.
Winning her would disgrace him, and losing to her would disgrace him even more.
Therefore, he didn't want to talk to her. He nodded, held her hand, and was about to leave.
However, that attitude only made Lily angrier.
After all, although Max used to hate her, he hadn't acted like this. He didn't even want to talk to her now.
She felt so sad and took a few quick steps to stand in their way.
"Stop!"
Max's face turned sullen immediately.
"Move!"
As afraid as Lily was, she still held back her fear and raised her head. She couldn't believe that she had loved him for so long, but he just couldn't wait to drive her away.
"No! Max, do you know what kind of woman she is? She betrayed you for money! Does she really deserve your love?"
Max's eyes instantly turned ice-cold.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Laura gently pinched his fingers.
She was telling him not to say too much.
He suppressed his anger and didn't speak.
Laura looked at Lily and smiled. "Lily, you provoked me again and again and tried to ruin our relationship. I'm not going to argue with you about what kind of woman I am, but what does that have to do with you? Who do you think you are to question us here?"
Lily was stunned.
She never thought that Laura would ask that.
She was, indeed, lack of confidence.
After all, although she had been with Max before, it was just her one-sided love.
Max had never officially acknowledged their relationship in public.
